Knowing where we are in relation to other things is a sometimes difficult concept to grasp for any individual. But the sooner we learn about directions, (north, south, east, west) the sooner we learn about getting from here to there. Using contemporary examples youngsters are provided with the tools they will need to begin their lifelong relationship with directions.

Amelia Earhart amazed the world with her aviating prowess during a time in America when the Stock Market crashed, the Great Depression erupted, and women were painfully restricted. Nicknamed "Lady Lindy", Amelia's adventurous spirit led her to become the first woman to fly alone over the Atlantic Ocean. However, on her flight around the world, Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, left Miami, Florida, and with 7,000 miles left on a 29,000-mile flight they were never heard from again. Today the theories abound and the mystery remains . . .

Through careful studies conducted in the US, UK and East Asia, researchers came to the surprising conclusion that in many aspects, people from the "East" and people from the "West" think in diametrically opposite ways. Scientists determined that cultural differences trump theories that the brain's thought processes operate in much the same manner for all people. As cultures and economies become more interwoven, it is increasingly important to understand these differences and how they might affect communication and negotiations in both social and business settings.
Part I
The research in this program focuses on how the East and West view the world. Westerners tend to focus on objects in a scene independently of each other. Easterners view the whole and the interaction between objects. In each instance, different parts of the brain are activated and different conclusions drawn. This effects everyday life such as:
Language - "More tea?" (West/object) versus "Drink more?" (East/interaction with object)
Character - "He is mean" (West/individual) versus "He had a bad day"( East/effect of others)
Part II
Perspective of self and others is explored. The West is more ego-centric and individualistic, seeing from the observers point of view. The East tends to be retrospective, considering what others think. For example, in the West you would give lots of drink choices, allowing individual choice. In the East it is polite to consider the persons favorite drink and offer that. This perspective leads the West to value the self whereas the East places importance on the group.

In 1803 U.S. President Thomas Jefferson purchased 838,000 square miles of land from France. This famous land deal became known as the Louisiana Purchase and prompted Jefferson to commission Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to lead an expedition through the newly acquired U.S. territory. In May, 1804 these two men along with approximately 40 other recruits launched one of the most dramatic and significant explorations in U.S. history. Starting near St. Louis at the mouth of the Missouri River, the entire expedition traveling to the Pacific Ocean and back, lasted 2 years, 4 months and 10 days and totaled nearly 8,000 miles.
It has been nearly 200 years since then, and the bicentennial of their historic journey is rapidly approaching. During this unique 2-part DVD series, retrace the adventurous trail of these true American heroes who faced many adversities and sacrificed personal ambitions for the sake of a newly born country.

Dermot in Australia - My name's Dermot and I live on Idalia, a farm in the middle of the Australian bush. I'm seven, but I already know how to drive, even cars. Driving is very important on my farm because it's so big and it's very isolated. The nearest village is 40 away on a dirt road, so I have to be able to do things all by myself. On my farm, we raise sheep. We have tens of thousands of them. The dogs are a great help to us. My Dad says a dog is worth at least two men for herding sheep. We shear them for their morino wool. What's really great about our farm in Australia is that we live outdoors most the time. And after a good day's work, there's nothing nicer than eating in the open air. Barbecues are my specialty.

Lars in Sweden - My name is Lars, I'm 8 years old and I'm a Laplander. My ancestors were nomads, but today we live in a house and raise reindeer. We have over 600 of them and I always get to help. In Sweden the weather is quite cool in the spring. The frozen rivers are only just starting to melt. But during the winter the temperature goes down to minus 30 degrees. The days are very short. It can stay dark for almost 24 hours. Even in the 21st century these animals remain essential to our way of life. Without them, like our ancestors before us, we couldn't survive.

My country was called Burma before they changed the name. It's an interesting place and I enjoy riding the water buffalo through the rice fields. In the evening I go to the farm and there is only one way to get there...by boat. My house is built on poles above the water.

Noggy in Mongolia - My name's Noggy. I'm 13 and I'm the youngest of three children. My family are livestock breeders in the steppes of Mongolia. I spend a lot of time riding on horseback. It is said, a Mongolian without his horse is like a bird without its wings. One of my daily chores is to go and get water with my cousin Timba. Fortunately, we have a metal cart to transport the huge container. Our only source of revenue from our livestock comes from gathering the cashmere hair from our goats. We collect them with a special brush shaped like a claw. In Mongolia, we produce about 3000 tons of cashmere each year. It's light yet very warm.

Outi in Finland - Our farm is huge and even with a tractor it takes Dad a long time to sow all the seeds. It's important not to sow the seeds too close to each other, or the plants won't have enough room to grow properly. I ask him all sorts of questions about the crops. Today, Dad has given me a big responsibility - planting the young trees. But I won't have time to finish today. I have other chores waiting for me. At the end of the day, we stop at our forest shelter. We have a little rest before going home. I'm so happy to have learned so many new things.

Pepito in Guatemala - Pepito lives on a busy farm in Guatemala. Besides the family garden and taking care of the animals, the family earns its keep growing corn. Even so, they can hardly feed themselves. January is harvest time and Pepito will be working hard to help his family harvest the corn from their husks. It takes strong hands. But Pepito thinks the best part of the harvest season is riding on the tractor. One day, Pepito will take over and run the hacienda, like his father and grandfather before him.

Rebeka in Estonia - Hello. My name's Rebecca and this is my farm. It's the oldest farm in the region. It was built more than 700 years ago. Along with my parents, I have two sisters and a brother. Our farm is an organic farm. That means we never use pesticides. Everything we eat at home comes from our farm. Behind the house, we have beehives. To collect the honey, I have to put on a special outfit to stop the bees from stinging me. I also water the plants that are growing in the greenhouse. One of my favorite things is to practice the piano before I go to bed.

The Appalachian Mountains are the oldest mountain range in North America. They date back about 650 million years. The collision between the North American and African plates caused the mountain range to rise up. The Appalachians had become the highpoint of the eastern part of the continent, running from Newfoundland down to the central part of Alabama.

The Canadian Shield has a greater land area with fewer people living in it than any other geographical region on the North American continent. This geographic region has some of the hardest and oldest rocks to be found anywhere in North America. Scientists estimate there were at least 150 separate volcanic belts, or strings of volcanoes, involved in creating the foundation of the Canadian Shield. This region is the very first portion of North America to be pushed up above sea level. It all began some 3-4 million years ago. Included within the Canadian Shield are portions of five Canadian Provinces, 4 United States, and the world's largest island, Greenland.

The surf of the Atlantic Ocean washes the eastern coast of North America. Then, the continental coast circles the Gulf of Mexico¡K from the southern end of Florida¡K across Alabama and Mississippi, to Louisiana and Texas¡K and finally hooking down into Mexico, all the way to the Yucatan Peninsula. Along this roughly 3,000 miles of oceanfront, the relatively flat lands adjacent to the sea are known as the "Coastal Plain." In some places in the north, the Coastal Plain can be as narrow as ten miles. While at its widest point the Coastal Plain region extends a distance of about 400 miles! From its pine and hardwood forests in the north, to the tropical rain forests of the Yucatan Peninsula in the south, the Coastal Plain features some of the most beautiful and diverse landforms in all of North America.

The western coast of North America is a series of spectacular shorelines, where breathtaking waves from the Pacific Ocean crash upon amazing rock formations¡K at the base along the Coastal Range. It stretches for over 3,500 miles, from the Alaskan Peninsula in the north, to the tip of the Baja California Peninsula in the south. One would normally think of mountains as solid and unmovable, but the majority of these towering peaks began as volcanoes and several still have the potential to become active even today! This region is just a small part of a famous line of tectonic activity that circles the entire Pacific Ocean, known as The Ring of Fire!

At the very heart of North America, between the Rocky Mountains and east of the Mississippi River, we find one of the continent's largest regional landforms, The Great Plains. Its most striking feature is its flatness and wide open spaces. The Great Plains encompass all or part of 15 of the United States and three Canadian provinces. In Canada, the Great Plains is known as "The Prairies." One might wonder¡Khow did the Great Plains become so flat? The answer goes back about 250 million years. Back then, the Great Plains were not plains or prairie at all. In fact, they were not even dry land. Scientists have determined that it was once covered by a vast inland sea known as the Western Interior Waterway. This waterway ran from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Gulf of Mexico in the south.

A dramatic, powerful and at times unnerving retelling of the events leading up to and surrounding the death of the world's most wanted man.
This documentary includes President Obama's Address to the Nation, a remembrance to 9/11, the decade long hunt to find Osama bin Laden, the rise of radicalism and al Qaeda, the history of terrorism and details of the events leading up to, and including, the Navy Seal's bold operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Historical speeches from three presidencies are interspersed throughout the program.
While one chapter of the war on terror closes, another opens with the hunt for the new al Qaeda leader.

Learners of all ages will benefit from understanding more about the man whose very name is synonymous with world terrorism. But who is Bin Laden, and why is he intent on destroying American influence in the Islamic world?
Specifically designed to reach young and mature learners, this content appropriate and historical video will shed light on this exiled Saudi millionaire who has become one of the most significant financial supporters of Islamic extremists in the world today. While his stated goals are to eliminate the influence of the United States in the holy country of Saudi Arabia, it is equally his goal to remove American influence from all of the Islamic world by whatever means necessary.
Osama bin Laden is a man we will all need to know much more about as the world joins forces to reduce terrorism domestically and abroad.

Viewers will enjoy the music and interesting historic backgrounds of these symbolic anthems, making for a cadence marked lesson in early American history.

Although Freedom & Democracy are things you can't see, they are a symbol of our nation just as real as the Statue Of Liberty. As American's we think of ourselves as being free and democratic, but these very basic rights come with fundamental and serious responsibilities. Historically not everyone enjoyed the same levels of freedom in America. Look at the days of slavery, women without the right to vote and American's with disabilities that lacked equal access These hard fought freedoms seem sensible today, but it wasn't always so. It's important to think of Freedom and Democracy as living breathing symbols of America. Symbols which have in the past and will continue into the future to assure they incorporate the needs of all the people.

A chime that changed the world occurred on July 8, 1776, when the Liberty Bell rang out from the tower of Independence Hall summoning citizens to hear the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. One hundred and ten years later the French gave to the U.S. the Statue Of Liberty, which has become the universal symbol of political freedom and democracy. Since that time it has stood for the ideals of America perhaps more then any other American symbol. In this DVD students will learn the history and importance of these two important American Symbols.

A memorial is a symbol created to honor and share the memory of those we have loved and lost. Memorials can be very large such as the Jefferson Memorial in our nation's capital or they can be as simple as a marker in a field or picture on a wall. For young viewers, we take a look at some of the many memorials that have been created to celebrate important people, historic events, and the American way of life

And from their guidance our love of country continues to grow. Our patriotic pride begins at home but quietly spreads into our community and over state borders, filling the entire country. But American patriotism doesn't stop there. It flows across the continent and around the globe. From waving it to wearing it, the American people symbolize patriotism, and America is considered the most patriotic country in the world.

The bald eagle was chosen June 20, 1782 as the emblem of the United States of America, because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks. On the Great Seal of the United States and in many places, which are exponents of our nation's authority, we see this same emblem. One of the places we see this emblem is the United States Dollar. Students will be amazed at how both the Bald Eagle and the US Dollar came to be so symbolic of the United States.

Recognized around the world as a symbol of freedom and democracy, the U.S. Constitution sets the standards by which we elect our leaders and the guidelines for writing the laws by which we all live. But most importantly, it outlines the freedoms we are all guaranteed as citizens of the United States of America. Exactly how this historic document grants power to the people and how it works to insure freedom in our everyday lives is a very interesting story indeed. It remains the responsibility of "WE THE PEOPLE", to continue to protect the meaning and intent of this historic and great symbol of America.

The story of the American flag is told, from Revolutionary War days to the present. Viewers see many of the flags that have flown over the United States: the Join or Die, the Don't Tread On Me, the Continental Colors, and, of course, the Stars and Stripes, while learning the historical background of each one. Youngsters learn what the flags symbolize, what the various parts mean, and how to maintain and properly display the American flag. A special section explains how the flag prompted Francis Scott Key to write "The Star Spangled Banner" and tells when and under what circumstances the "Pledge of Allegiance" was written. Fun facts, such as the far-flung places the Stars and Stripes have been flown, why our flag is known as Old Glory, and the world's largest flag, are presented.

Anthropologists believe that single edged stone tools indicate that people lived in India as much as 50,000 years ago. One of the most unique aspects of the migrations into the Indus River Valley was that early arrivals did not completely displace the old inhabitants, as in other cultures. It remains evident today that some of the most powerful empires of all time have touched the fabric of India; that of Alexander the Great from Greece, the Muslims, and lastly the British Empire. It will take until the middle of the 20th Century before the borders of India, Pakistan and other modern nations of the subcontinent are set and each becomes an independent nation.

1200 years ago, after the great ice age, Japan began to separate from the Asian mainland and become the island that we know today. This geographic isolation helped make the Japanese one of the most unique of all civilizations. During much of Japan's history, feudalism created a constant state of war between the local lords and chieftains. By 450 CE the Yamato clan ruled the land introducing Buddhism and Confucius to Japanese society. Ultimately a feudal order and class society developed with the Emperor at the head, followed by the Shogun, Diamyos and the Samurai.
While the empires of many civilizations have faded, Japan remains a culture successfully influencing the world by cultivating the antiquities from its unique past with its innovations toward a promising future.

No place in all of the 2,000 islands that make up Greece, The Hellenic Republic, is further than 85 miles from the sea - a fact that affected the early history and rise to power of this great country. Although the modern Greek Republic has yet to celebrate its 100th birthday, the successes of ancient Greece in the fields of philosophy, art, and politics set the standards for nearly all who followed. Today the modern country of Greece is a parliamentary republic and home to approximately 11,000,000 citizens. The most populated city, Athens, is also the capital of the country.

Leprechauns and shamrocks, bagpipes and kilts each reminders from two cultures that have similar yet different heritages. While its borders have been bombarded by foreign invaders, sovereignty for these lands lies within the character of its people.

Spain's world influence no longer stems from the ambition of kings and queens, but rather from the culture of such notables as Pablo Picasso's and Miguel De Cervantes.

Today, with a population of 80 million people it has become the 13th most populated country in the world. Its growing and global economy places it among industry leaders in the production of rubber, tea, coffee, peppers, seafood and mining. However, Vietnam traditionally remains a culture rich in the teachings of Buddha and Confucius and as an independent country honors an enchanting land with an enduring heritage
